Story
Meet Tuna! Tuna was born on Mother's Day in 2020. Her Mom was found in the trunk of a car, pregnant with 6 pups who all went on to find loving homes through I Heart Dogs in Warren. She LOVES cuddling, playing fetch, and getting her zoomies out in a safely fenced area. She is goofy and fun, loves chasing water from the hose and also settling in close by for naps. She does well left alone with free access to our house for up to 6-8 hours without getting in to anything or having any accidents. She is on medication for reactivity and the right home would be able to keep this up for her, as well as continue training with a behaviorist. She does have a history of biting housemate dogs, and it would be best for her to continue working closely with a trainer. She has never shown aggression toward people but does get a little overly excited and nervous when meeting new friends. Ideally, Tuna would live in a home with no other pets or small children.

Story
Princess is an approximately 3 year old spayed female shepherd mix that desperately needs a home. Her owner was unable to continue to feed her, and a neighbor stepped up to help care for Princess but they are not able to care for her long-term. Princess is good with other dogs, and after having multiple litters of puppies before getting spayed, she is very maternal. She is friendly with strangers but will let you know when they come into the yard! Princess appears to be house-trained and is non-destructive when she comes inside the house at night to sleep. Once she knows where “home” is, she is not one to wander and sticks close to where her people are. Princess is fully vaccinated but is unfortunately heartworm positive.

Story
Carrots is an owner give up to our rescue. Below is the information her owner gave us initially. I have had Carrots for almost two years now. She has been the most amazing friend I could have asked for. She rarely barks and only lets out an occasional whine if she needs to go out or is wanting some attention. She’s a well behaved for a dog that lives her life with me in a small dorm and can only go out to play fetch or go for a walk when I’m not at class or work. She needs better. In general, she has been amazing for the hand she’s been dealt. I actually couldn’t be more grateful for how well she’s treated me as she’s grown to be near a full two years old!! I am having to part with her because she is still a puppy, and I’m a Junior in college struggling to work and commute on weekends when I have to, and give her the attention she deserves. She’s trained well. She sits on command, she can stay if you ask, she’s house trained, and she’s comfortable with her kennel if needed. She uses a harness for walks and does great. She was trained to walk on the left of you and she’s usually pretty good about staying focused. She has started the process of being an ESA certified dog but has not rec'd her second certification. Her previous owner said that she was around a child once and growled so we do not recommend her with small children. She has never been around cats so we cannot say whether she will or will not be okay arounds feline friends. She would make a great family member for an active family. If you would like to add Carrots to your home, please message us and we will send you an application. Carrots is being fostered in MS but included in your adoption fee is transport to a location near you by Rescue Riders Pet Transport, the most animal friendly transport on the road! The adoption fee includes her medical for a health certificate and transport to you. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.My name is Duke and I’m definitely royalty! The elderly gentleman who adopted me as an 8-week old puppy had to undergo emergency surgery and lost his leg to diabetes, leaving himunable to properly care for me. I was only 10 months old at the time. I am now a 1-year oldstrapping young pup who has known only love and playtime my whole life. I have boundlessenergy and am up for whatever game you have in mind.. tug, fetch, long walks, you name it! Ineed a securely fenced yard as I know no boundaries (having been raised on 25 acres and loveto chase the wildlife, i.e., critters, deer, nothing is off limits)! I have shared my home with catsand will even play with cats! I have not been introduced (other than thru my kennel;) to myForster Mom’s dog as he is a special needs dog with delicate hips. Although I display “normal”fencing behavior in my kennel, it appears that I will be ok with another dog given slow, properintroduction. The best fit would be a dog that can keep up with my high-energy personality!That said, I CANNOT be crated. I am strong and have destroyed a large crate from the insideout. I do well in a large welded wire kennel (minimum size 6 x 8 x 4, pictured). My Foster Momkeeps me safe in a 10 x 8 x 6 kennel which I cannot topple and am safe in when she is away.As my prior home offered me limited opportunity to meet new people, I am wary of strangersand need slow, proper introductions. Once I know you, you are my friend! I bond easily withmy “person” and will guard that person and my home. An experienced owner is preferred. I amNOT a couch potato - and given the opportunity, I will probably eat your couch!If you’re looking for a constant companion to start every day will a smile, woof and wag - I’myour guy!12 Month old German ShepherdNeuteredMicrochippedHouse trainedGood with CatsPlayfulVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.  ********************************************************************************** We show some of our adoptable dogs at PetSmart, Utica, each Saturday between the hours of 11:00am and 3:00pm.  Cats typically don't do well at events, so they only attend with a pre-approved meet and greet appointment.
